What is your star rating criteria?
We all rate our books many different ways, I am curious how you decide how many stars to give a book :-)
my read shelf:
Re: What is your star rating criteria?
2*- Hated/ highly disliked
3*- It was just ok, nothing great but nothing awful (or too awful)
4*- Really liked it but something bothered me
5*- Absolutely LOVED!
my read shelf:
Two Stars: I got through it,barely, but I would not recommend it to other people.
Three Stars: I enjoyed reading it, but probably would not read it again.
Four Stars: I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to someone else.
Five Stars: LOVED IT!! It could be a terribly written book for all I care, but if it sucked me in enough to overlook the mistakes, it will still get those 5 stars.
I need to rate more books. Most of the books I have rated have been 4 or 5 stars.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

my read shelf:
2 - Not great but not deserving of 1 star. Usually I put stuff that is tedious/too long/in need of an editor here.
3 - Not bad, not amazing. Stuff I liked but that is ultimately forgettable.
4 - Really good, just missing that 5 star quality. I seem to give more 4 star ratings than any other.
5 - Amazing books that I absolutely loved. Occasionally something that was just beautifully written even if the subject matter wasn't my cup of tea.
I try to hold back a bit on rating a book 5*. It has to be "OMG AMAZING!" to get 5*. Books that are really, really, really good get 4*.
For comparison, my books read in 2012 (I didn't read as much in 2013 due to moving) - 6/50 were 5* and 16/50 were 4*.
I think this is me, too. The majority of my books are 4 stars, although I just came out of a run of 3 star books.
Sometimes I'll give a 3 star rating to a book that I liked because something bothered me about the book, like an irritating MC.
2 - Dislike, wish I got my time back from reading it.
3 - Not remarkable either way. Not sorry I read it, but I will probably never think of it again.
4 - Really enjoyed, will recommend, but not flawless.
5 - OMG, AMAZEBALLS, SHOUT FROM THE ROOF TOPS.
